The grand Victorian homes lining Ocean Park in Martha’s Vineyard each possess a unique, pastel-colored charm. This summer, instead of ogling them, you could live in your very own Ocean Park jewel.

Dubbed a “meticulously renovated Victorian masterpiece” in its listing, this home at 55 Ocean Avenue in Oak Bluffs is a rarely available property. The 1880s house has four bedrooms, five and a half baths, plenty of ocean views, and a price tag of almost $2.8 million.

The entirety of Ocean Park unfolds in front of the home’s two levels of wraparound verandas. From these porches, there are views of the park’s iconic gazebo and the sparkling waters of Nantucket Sound (plus all of the people watching you could ever want). The historical home maintains many of its charming architectural elements, like intricate woodwork, moldings, French doors, and built-ins. These time-honored details blend with newer ones, like top-of-the-line appliances in the kitchen and marble vanities in the bathrooms.

The house is listed by Wendy Harman of Point B Realty. See the rest of the dreamy island abode below.
